Research summary
AI-generated

Mei Han's research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, vascular disease, and liver conditions, including how cells change identity or behavior (such as smooth muscle cells switching phenotypes, or liver cells undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition). Work spans topics like tumor metabolism, inflammation, atherosclerosis, and gene regulation, often using cell and animal models along with sequencing techniques. The publication record includes studies on specific proteins and pathways implicated in cancers (gastric, colorectal, liver, skin) and cardiovascular/inflammatory conditions.

Publication output rose to a peak around 2018-2019, then gradually declined and has remained at a lower, relatively steady level (averaging about 3-4 papers per year) over the past five years.
